| | | | | | | | | The straightforward way with using 'cat .git/refs/heads/*' doesn't work with packed refs as well as branches of the form topic/topic1.

Alternatively, you can pass the option --fake-missing-tagger, forcing fast-export to fake a tagger Unspecified Tagger <no-tagger> with a tag date of the beginning of (Unix) time in the case of a missing tagger, so that fast-import is still able to import the result.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The -A option calls pack-objects with the --unpack-unreachable option so that the unreachable objects in local packs are left in the local object store loose. But if the -d option to repack was _not_ used, then these unpacked loose objects are redundant and unnecessary. Update tests in t7701.

| |/ / / / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current git versions ignore everything after # (called <head> in the following) when pushing. Older versions (before cf818348f1ab57), interpret #<head> as part of the URL, which make git bail out. As branches origin from Cogito, it is the best to correct this by using the behaviour of cg-push, that is to push HEAD to remote refs/heads/<head>.
